Background and study aims Suicide is a leading cause of death in young people, and previous self-harm is the strongest predictor of suicide. Rates of self-harm in adolescents range from 6.9% to 15.9% and every year young people in crisis visit emergency departments (ED) having self-harmed. Most EDs have a paediatric psychiatric liaison team of mental health practitioners who conduct a comprehensive psychosocial assessment as per current guidelines. Psychosocial assessment includes an evaluation of risk and needs, but many young people do not experience this as therapeutic and do not engage in follow-up. The period after discharge from ED is associated with the highest risks of repeat self-harm and suicide, suggesting that this period in the care pathway presents a unique opportunity to intervene quickly so that young people can be supported to find alternative ways of coping.
